** The cat moustache mustache puzzle, as stated above.above. It involves multiple steps needed to be taken in order to impersonate someone with a motorcycle license. The least logical of which is affixing tape to a cat in order to construct a fake mustache, which the person whose identity you're stealing does not have. You not only need to create a fake mustache, but then draw one on the license, which many players found baffling.

* QuestionableCasting: Tim Curry as the New Orleans native Gabriel Knight. It's not even a case of voice actor availability (as the game is an American production), which makes it all the more confusing.

* SoOKItsAverage: Tends to be the response to the 20th Anniversary Edition of ''Sins of the Fathers'' from players who didn't outright hate the remake. (See TheyChangedItNowItSucks, below.) Most seem to agree that it's a serviceable remake with, at the very least, some beautiful environment art, but otherwise it's full of missed opportunities to do something bigger and better with the source material. The fact that the 1993 original's pixel art style and MIDI musical score are back in fashion makes the remake feel a bit unnecessary in all honesty, since it's not like interested players can't still grab the original just as easily on Steam or GOG.

** The remake added a new puzzle with at the Moon residence where you have to work out a cipher machine so that the Voodienne will consider you a friend. By triggering switches and pedals till it spells out friend. It's considered obtuse and the fact that it was made by Jane herself doesn't make many people warm up to it either.
